Fibromyalgia -- Need help on how to handle severe pain

vellen, Unbelievable, But, I am much sharper when I am on prednisone. Go figure! I feel the best when I am on it, emotionally & physically. The down side is puffiness, weight gain and my mind goes 500 miles an hour, I can't sleep and it makes me sweat.

I know the sweat, I also find my heart pounding about 15-20 minutes after a meal, very annoying. Isn't it crazy how so many of us experience different side effects?
I can take the morning pred on an empty stomach which is good because I've never been able to eat food for a good 3-4 hours after waking.
So far, I have only lost weight and I'll see if that has leveled off yet this week when I go in for a dr appt. My clothes are still pretty loose so I don't think it's changed much.
Perhaps once I'm on it a few more weeks, that will change but I've always lost weight with stress and having fibromyalgia and PMR, is definitely stressful!
